MRS. LEsLIE's PRIDE.
Her Publications Are for the Peo-
pie and She Doesn't Shoot Over
Their Heads

Her Publications Are for the Peo-
pie and She Doesn't Shoot Over
Their Heads.
Mrs. Leslie prides herself on publish
ing newspaper. She considers the
other illustrated publications rather
more OF the magazine or essay order.
Her idea is to give graphic sketches of
the news at the time it is fresh, and in
the most attractive shape. She knows
the public taste very well, and she
doesn't believe in shooting over the
heads of the people,
She now gets out ten different publi-
cations and has 1000 manuscripts of
fered to her every year. She pays about
$4,000 for contributions every year,
and she keeps her manuscripts indexed
by title and number. In her
registers of such manuscripts, and the
numbers of them run well up into the
$4,000. Over 100000 eminent persons
have had their pictures published in
different periodicals, and it required
last year enough paper to cover 2,700
acres to print her publications. She
uses seventeen tons of paper every week,
ank her engraving department eats up
5000 square inches of box wood weekly.
one is tne third largest INK consumer In
the United States, and 100000 ems of
type are set every week in the cOmpos-
ing rooms. Mrs. Leslie tells me she in
tends to begin the publication of Span
ish illustrated newspaper, which shall
be sent to all Spanish-American colo
MES. 1t will be circulated in Mexico,
Central America, South America and in
the islands where Spanish is spoken.
She thinks women are fully the equals
of men as workers, save that they are
not as regular in their work and you
can't depend upon them so we'll for hav-
ing things done at regular time and
the same, year in and year out. She has
high opinion, however. of woman's
work, and thinks that women do certain
branches of newspaper work, such as in
terYiewing, far better than men. She
has confidence in the future of Frank
Leslie's publications, says she intends
to make them the best in the world. and
that she intends to scatter them all over
the world, and that she has made start
in this direction by opening an office in
London. 1t is probable that she is at
tending to business during her stay in
that city.

Lady Athletes at the Beach.

A new spirit apimates the summer
girl at the beach. To be up with the
times, says the Philadelphia Press, she
must have some sort of a red or brown
felt hat without trimming, not too new.
A blouse waist is en- regle, or Norfolk
jacket, or, as the utmost latitude per-
mitted, a belted jersey with rough
and-ready effect. 4 A short, undraped
skirt of some ready-for-al l-that-comes,
though not necessarily unpicturesque,
material and high boots made for this
especial service complete the new outfit
that one begins to see: on the sands.
This years type of summer girl wears
no gloves. She likes to get her hands
Drowned. She doesn't seem to object to
freckle, regarding it as a, diploma of
graduation from the best summer
school. Taking it all in all, the more
unconventional her garb the better it
suits the new summer conyenti0nalities.
Girls vie with each other in this as in
all other dress fancies they take up, and
if they don't play tennis or pull boat
one whit more energetically than they
did last year they could if they liked,
which in the interests of out of door
living is at least something gained.

A Belle at Narragansett.

Narragansett Pier Cor. New York Times.
One figure in particular catches your
eye. She is st. Louis belle, being ten
derby cared for by retired army cap
tain. She has black bathing dress,
pulled at the shoulders and made in a
yoke with plaits. A black silk handker-
chief is about her head, taStefuIly dis
posed and cOquettishly knotted over her
forehead. In her ears are diamond ear
rings. She ScOrnS corsets, but her curves
are so symmetrical that their absence
does not at first appear. Every time the
gallant breaker prepares to throw about
her shoulders its great mantle of swans
down the captain lifts her, lifts her high
above.
Against the background of white her
black figure is for moment silhOuetted
in strong relief. The effect is immense.
When Venus Anadyomene rose from
the sea she forgot. according to the We
raciOuS poet and painter, those news
paper correspondendents of golden
Greece, her tea gown. Perhaps if she
had possessed in the coral caves the
latest thing in water gowns she would
have thought twice about costume in
that marine debut. AT any rate Venus
would have lost little if she had sent to
st. Louis for few points.

The RUBBER BOY.
A True Story From the Missionary Field
in Central Africa.
THE COCK AND THE GOOSE.
How They Made a Dismal Failure in
Attempting to Annihilate the
Good Mans Son.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
Once there was a good missionary
who went with his wife to the interior
mendable work of converting the ma
tives. Previous to his advent the ma
tives were regularly hungry cannibals,
but he changed all that. He did not
succeed in making the savages give up
their cannibaliStic practices entirely,
but after he had preached to them a
few months they had less appetite at
the feasts held for the purpose of eating
captured enemies, and were great deal
more particular about choice cuts. Only
the most delicate portions of their foes
were eaten and the remainder was given
to the dogs. So even partial conversion
had its refining influence on the saw
ages, and the good missionary was quite
satisfied.
1t was at the period above referred to
in the history of the station that little
son was born to the missionary and his
wife. Two weeks subsequently the
mother died. The savages kept no
COWS nor goats, never having pre-
objection for that sort of meat, and it
supply of milk for the babe should be
secured. Fortunately the missionary
was man of devices, and a botanical
resource occurred to him. The milk of
the rubber tree was utilized.
Upon its novel tactical supply the babe
of the missionary thrived wonderfully.
AT the age of tr0uSerS-Simple things
made by the native women from the
fibre of the cocoa palm-the boy was as
sturdy little chap as one could wish to
see. He was wonderfully elastic in his
movements, and, though but six years of
age, could jump nineteen feet on the
level. 1t was at this period in his history
that the incident below illustrated oc-

had called the child-waS playing in the
back yard when huge cochin-cOck and

Another Masculine Prerogative
Stolen.


Cape May Letter to Baltimore American.
The young ladies have caught ON to
another new wrinkle this year. Most of
the young ladies wear heavy buckskin
shoes whenever necessity eompels them
to go near the beach, as they are said to
be more comfortable and durable than
kid boots. In order to make respectable
appearance at the hotel, they hail the
nearest bootblack after bathing hours.
The young lady in question puts one
dainty looking foot on the box, tucks up
her skirts, leans her back against the
side of one of the lighthouses. and APP
pears as unconscious about the matter
as if she had been used to it all her life.
When the ordeal is over the boy taps his
box, receives dime for his work, and
the maiden walks the gauntlet of men
with as much GOODNESS and compoSure
as the old war veteran.

On the Beach At Cape May.

Letter to the Baltimore American
The beach-walker in full regalia is
something not to be missed. Imagine
the young girl dressed in costume of
light color, cut decollete, with striped
hose. patent leather slippers, jewelry
and corsage bouquet, and you haze one
of these attractions at Cape May. They
never enter the water, but promenade
up and down the board walk for hours
at time, in order to exhibit themselves
to the dear boys, whose lack of energy
only enables them to lounge around the
lighthouses the greater part of the
morning, smoke perfumed cigaretts,
and twirl canes of tremendous proper
tons, which look by far too formidable
a weapon for such harmless creatures
to carry.

A SEASIDE TRAGEDY.

Beside the grand old ocean,
She stood in rapt devotion,
And her looks they seemed to grasp some
visionary land,
Then she turned about her traces,
One of the barefoot graces
And her fairy feet retreating, made post
holes in the sand.
High water mark she reached,
And she stood like one bewitched,
And the salt tears trickled past her little nose,
The bath house number she
Had forgotten-miseryi
The bewitching creature couldn't find her
clothes.
Then all of her devotion
For the nasty salt old ocean,
Was forgotten in her anger as she swore,
And up the beach she fed,
While her cheeks were flaming red,
For flannel blouse was all that the little
darling wore. Boston Courier.

Dress at Bar Harbor.

IuIlduelplild 11meS.
The style of dress worn here this sea-
son is varied in the extreme. White or
red flannel jackets, plain or with blue
stripes, white flannel trousers and caps,
with blue and red stripes, are worn
mostly by the young men. The every
day apparel for the young ladies is gen.
orally navy blue fianneIs with white
trimmings for boating. and thin cotton
dresses for driving. The middle-aged
ladies, mothers of families, think. the
sea shore most elegant chance to use
up the old cashmere, and save their
costly silks for city wear. The middle
aged men initiate somewhat their jun
iors, and think it capital fun to array
their bodies in white or gray flannel
shirts, lOOsely-ftting knee breecheS, and
to crown their heads with rimleSs skull
caps. The coachmen seem to be the
most cOnventionally dressed class of
men at the sea shore. They look the
gentlemen every inch in their long
legged boots and tall silk hats, 'squite
English"

Safe! Well, never have a moments
anxiety" This was said by a mother
with a large family of manageable
daughters while seated on the porch of
the Stockton hotel few mornings ago.
The conversation was held between the
one mother who had recently arrived
and the other who had been coming here
for years.
Il have been coming here for years."
she continued, land two of nv daugh-
tiers have married to my entire satisfac-
ton, and both met their husbands here.
/ never think of such thing as worry
ing where my girls are in the evening,
simply because there are no lovers
hooks in the entire place. 1t used to be
fayorite place for devoted young peo-
pie to sit oil the beach, but the electric
lights have killed that. No, this is the
incest place in the country for an easy
mind" and complacent smile spread
over her benevolent face.
1t is true, too. But who ever knew a
young couple afflicted that way who
couldn't find the SeclusiOn they de-
sired?
WHO are they?"
Everybody has had to give it up, but
still speculation goes on and the ques-
ton is asked hundred times a day.
Nobody knows where they are quar-
tered, and many vain endeavorS have
been made to solve their identity. The
lady is the embodiment of everything
that is fair to behold. Her petite figure
IN crowned by head of the loveliest
golden hair in the world, and in the
evenings some wonderful pieces of deli
cate handiwork, which nearly set the
ladies wild with envy, are displayed.
They have only been here about four
days, and each evening they have passed
through the throngs on the Stockton
porches and disappeared quite as mys-
teriously as they came. The cause of
the comment is because they are &C
knowledged to be the handSomest
couple seen here this season: The gen.
tlemaA is tall and dark, remarkably
well built, and his delicately chiseled
features have left their imprint on the
mind and heart OF nearly every young

A Young Lady's Unusual Luxuries.
Cape May Letter.
There was something of sensation on
the beach to-day, caused by girl. The
sea, though cool and chilly, was crowd
ed. There were more people here to-
day than on any day since the opening
Of the season, and consequently the
crowd on the beach was very large.
But the young lady who was responsible
for the sensation got all the room she
wanted. Somebody Spied her coming
across the road and down the beach.
Somebody else saw somebody looking,
and by the time she reached the out
skirts of the crowd a very wide path
was made for her. She had been here
about three days, and her apparent reti-
cence and desire not to meet people has
made her conspicuous around the hotel.
She is beauty, too, tall and dark, with
a superb figure.
The reason everybody looked at her
was on account of her dress and sur
1t wasn't particularly loud,
although it was designed to display her
charms to the best advantage. Her
perfect rounded arms were bare to the
shoulder, where little, white wings"
or puffS were located. The material of
the dress was the usual shade of dark
blue, but more expensive than the usual
run. Her. hose would have done Justice
to any lyric queen. But with all this
there was an air of refinementabOuth her
that was captivating. She was followed
by neat little French maid, who car
ried large, light-blue robe, very much
on the style of an afghan. 1t was this
that made people express wonder.
When the young lady emerged from
the water she walked up the beach.
Her coming had been anticipated. The
maid had spread the robe, and upon it
the young lady Laid her down to rest"
Then the robe was wrapped carefully
this position for fully half an hour, and
caused great food for the gossips. 1t
might be all right, but Cape May is not
yet educated up to that standard. May
be she only does it on cold days.
